The Wisdom of Father Brown

Kısa Öyküler ve Antolojiler

Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874-1936) was an English writer, philosopher, lay theologian, and literary and art critic. As an author he created the fictional priest-detective Father Brown, and produced several notable works on apologetics including Orthodoxy (1908) and The Everlasting Man (1925). He routinely referred to himself as an 'orthodox' Christian, and came to identify this position more and more with Catholicism, eventually converting to Catholicism from High Church Anglicanism. He was born in Kensington, educated at St Paul's School, and later attended the Slade School of Art, a department of University College London, to become an illustrator. He also took classes in literature at UCL but did not complete a degree in either subject. His first positions were within publishing houses, during which time he also became a freelance art and literary critic, and in 1902 the Daily News gave him a weekly opinion column, followed in 1905 by a weekly column in the London Illustrated News for which he continued to write for the next 30 years. In 1901 he married Frances Blogg who played a large role in his career as amanuensis and personal manager. Throughout the course of his career Chesterton wrote around 80 books, several hundred poems, some 200 short stories, 4,000 essays, and several plays. His writings consistently displayed wit and a sense of humour, and he would often employ paradox while making serious comments on the world, politics, economics, philosophy, theology, and many other topics. The Wisdom of Father Brown (1914) is Chesterton's second collection of stories featuring his fictional Catholic priest and amateur detective who went onto appear in 53 stories published between 1910-36. Father Brown solves mysteries using his intuition and keen understanding of human nature, and the character is loosely based on the Rt Rev Msgr John O'Connor (1870-1952), a parish priest in Bradford, who was involved in Chesterton's conversion to Catholicism. The collection includes 12 stories, most of which had previously appeared in McClure's Magazine or The Pall Mall Magazine between 1912-14 before being published together in book form.
